We are already in a recession, and it will only get worse.

Can you point to the indicators that say we are in a recession?

Look, I have lived through 3 recessions. This one will be a knockout! We have 300 billion in bad paper. These people will default on their credit cards. Gas is 3+ a gallon....
you can’t be this obtuse. Stay out of the market, or short. Keep your debt down. You are either young, or not rational. I mean you no harm.

Ok, so you want indicators?

In the last recession, it wasn’t until Nov 2001 that economists actually recognized we were officially in a recession and had been for months. It was about 2 years later they announced that the recession ended in Nov 2001.

In other words, they didn’t even recognize the recession until it had already ended....
